I have setup a 180g and 75g tank in a small room that is about 170sq ft. but opens up to my kitchen/living room. My wife has a super sensitive nose and has been complaining that there is a foul odor coming from somewhere and believes its the tanks. The tanks have a very light load (1 10in rhom and 1 4in manueli). There isn't any left over food and personally I think the water has the more earthly smell than anything else.
I was thinking of adding carbon but I know the whole argument against it. Could the smell just be from evaporation/humidity? I am running AC110s on the tanks and there is tons of evaporation. Water change schedule is weekly about 40-50% so there should be no reason for any smell.
I know if I had carbon it will just get rid of any smell so was leaning towards that.
